Thank you! The 50 lbs includes the pre op diet as well. My biggest change has been no soda or even juice . Not even diet . I can't do it, the juice is too sweet. My palette has changed. I don't crave the same things. I stay full longer now. I also measure my food and count my calories. U use MYFitnessPal and it works for me . Andddd I exercise 6 days a week girl! That's what keeps me losing inches and feeling so energized. My recovery was great. No gas pains At All. Not in my shoulder or back like everybody else. I stayed off for 1 full week and rested. That made a huge difference . Took my pain pils when needed and followed the surgeons diet .

Sample:

Breakfast: 100 calorie pack low sugar oatmeal and 1 oz eggbeaters

Lunch: tuna salad on wheat bread

Dinner: small plate , steamed potatoes and 2 chicken wings (grilled)

Tea it Water

I'm still working in this 1/2 cup of food thing. Trying to get to my green zone. I've had 3 fills so far!

My issue is still getting more Protein in and less processed carbs. I started getting heartburn really bad so I cut back. Must have been eating the wrong things . You will be fine. It's so support on here . I'm still trying to figure it out but it's coming along quite well. Feel free to ask any questions.
